I. Bust: Wearing a supportive bra without additive padding or push-up features, wrap the tape across your back and over the fullest part of the chest. Ensure the tape remains parallel to the floor for an accurate circumference. Note: This is distinct from your bra size.

II. Waist: Locate the narrowest point of your torso, typically three to four inches above the hip bone. If you have a shorter torso, this may sit closer to two inches above the bone. Find the natural indentation between the rib cage and the iliac crest. Keep the tape gently relaxed; do not hollow the stomach.

III. Hip: Guided by your natural silhouette, measure the fullest part of the hips and seat. The tape must remain perfectly level to capture the true curve.

Note: Measure while wearing your intended event undergarments. Keep the tape level and never constricting, to ensure you can move and sit comfortably.
